&nbsp;Hi,

Touch file(s) does not change the date/time on directories. &nbsp;Is there another way to accomplish this with FB? &nbsp;I am able to do it with a powershell snippet, just curious if there was an action to do it, or if touch file(s) should work on directories.

Thanks!

-Nelson

I just had a look at the source and can’t see anywhere that we exclude directories, however when I tested it it definitely isn’t working on directories. I’ll log a task for someone to investigate this when the team returns from vacation.
